Distribution of potentially unwanted programs

As we have already mentioned, you can install potentially unwanted programs by attempting to obtain a bogus copy of DriverAssist licensed version for free. However, that is not the only one method to contaminate your computer with potentially unwanted and ad-supported programs.

Potentially unwanted programs can infiltrate computers with the help of various freeware and shareware variants. PUPs are not inherent from such popular freeware as download managers, PDF creators, audio or video players and so on. We say so because PUPs may be introduced as useful browser add-ons, plug-ins, toolbars, or extensions that are capable of keeping drivers on user's computers up-to-date.

Potentially unwanted software can also implement unwanted activities that may turn user's web browsing to hell by delivering tons of annoying advertisements, causing redirects to suspicious websites, making your system to run much slower than ever and so on. If you want to keep you computer safe, you should prevent installation of such programs at all.

Be very attentive while installing every free program. No matter if you have installed it from a reliable download website or not, keep in mind that 'bundled installers' are promoted everywhere and select Advanced or Custom installation option all the time.

By the way, read every notification carefully and look for the propositions to install 'optional downloads'. Make sure that you always opt out of various plug-ins, add-ons, toolbars or extensions because later on they may appear to be adwares, browser hijackers and cause you various issues.

All in all, if you started to think that ads on your screen are caused by Safebytes DriverAssist, you are wrong. In such situation, we suggest using a security software to identify the culprit – we are sure that it won't even detect this driver utility as suspicious because it is a legitimate software you can use without worries.
